That's the way to go :) I made something simple in about half an hour, using this [1] as insipration.
Just get some Polymethylmethacrylat (PMMA - "Plexiglas" - marketing name here), a spare socket from a removable light, a jigsaw and a heat gun :) After you have something like this [2] you simply glue it on the socket with much hot melt adhesive and there you go. :) Btw. the hole in the Neo is great to tie it to the holder - just in case some accident happens or so.
